## Resource

Jalen Duren’s looming unrestricted free agency could be a game-changer for the Atlanta Hawks, who’ve eyed him as a perfect fit to pair with Jalen Johnson. With Duren reportedly eyeing his $9.6M qualifying offer instead of a long-term deal, Atlanta gets a chance to add elite frontcourt depth without trading assets. But his $40M price tag poses a tough decision—worth it for a co-star? Or too risky when cap flexibility is their strength? The Hawks must prove they’ll only invest in players who truly elevate their championship window, not just because they can afford to spend.
